Program Overview

Our civil and environmental engineering course is aimed at students who aspire to become professionally qualified engineers. If you wish to study civil engineering in the UK or abroad with an emphasis on environmental engineering, then this could be the course for you.

This course aims to develop the combination of technical, practical and managerial skills necessary to analyse, design and manage solutions for innovative and complex engineering problems, as a basis for future leadership in the civil engineering profession.

• You will be taught by current staff with academic and professional experience in the civil engineering and construction industries, having worked for companies such as Carillion, Arcadis and Laing O’Rourke as principal, senior and management engineers (staff are subject to change).
• Teaching is highly practical; you will have the chance to draw on real-life case studies, provided by companies such as Arcadis, CGL, Crossrail and Galliford Try where possible.
• You will have opportunities to use industry-standard software4 as is widely used by design and consulting engineers.

Why you should study this course

• Practical activities and application of knowledge through project-led learning in design project modules.
• Exercises in the Simulation Centre4 (a full-scale simulated construction environment) to experience real challenges of construction management in a controlled environment and to develop professional and leadership skills.
• Mandatory field trip2 comes at no extra cost to you and aims to enhance your global awareness and experience.
• Several optional modules are available to allow you to tailor your course to your specific interests, for example, 'Renewable Transport', 'Environmental Hazards' or 'Nature-Based Solutions' among others.
• Group project work with students from other construction and environment-related courses such as Quantity Surveying and Commercial Management BSc (Hons), Architectural Technology BSc (Hons) and geography, to develop attributes and skills required in a multi-disciplinary team.
